but the, confession has fitllen through, and

That was Harry O. Webster, a Danvillo

In February ho applied for a warrant
charging W. E. ninshaw with murder.
The preacher's trial coramonccd Sept. 4,

medical testimony went to show that it
would have been imposslblo for Mrs. Hln
shaw to have fought tho burglars aftur
having been shot through tho head.
The motive for the crime was supplied
by the attorneys for the prosecution, who
attempted to show that Hlnshaw had bo
coiue Infatuated with a handsomo young
woman of He lie villa, and the preacher's
own motions tended to further this theory.
Tho case made oat by the state was so
strong that Ulnshaw was convicted and
Sentenced to Imprisonment for Ufa.
The Cftse became a noted one. Many
doubted the guflt of the prisoner. Others
firmly boUevad that ba hod killed his wife
for the sake of the young woman tn ques

case to light after Ulnshaw was taken to
the penitentiary, and when Baney's al

ago there were hundred to say, "I told

was released from the penitentiary under

Tho bridgo is 1,1(11 foot long, including
tho approaches, and at that dizzy height.
with the waters of the river rushing along
below, few peoplo daro walk out on it a

dizziness.
Miss Coffman performed her remarkable
feat in the morning when a large number
of excursionists wero at the high bridge,
and hundreds of spectators witnessed it.

Adolph Kourschkowsky, tho engineer
of tho schooner Hand O. Hardgrove, now

It saved him from a sudden demise in the

attempted to rido up a narrow plank from
the schooner to tho landing, but slipped
off into the water. Ho could not swim
and would have gone down if his wheel
hod not been floated by Its pneumatic tires.
Ho clung to the wheel and shouted for

and threw a rope and hauled blm out.

FEISCE GEORGE'S FLJETATI05.
Be Beeoowa Enamored of the Lovely
Princess Henry of Fleas, Greatly to the
deft-art -of His Lawful Spooae The
Frincees aa Inveterate Coquette.
Publlo curiosity In England has been
excited by the fact that the official an
nouncement which appeared In Tho Times
recently to the effect that tho, Duke of
York had been appointed to tho command
of a species of flying squadron, with the
ranK of coimnodorc, and that ho was
shortly to undertake a series of visits to
the variouB British colonies which would
keep him away from home and at sea for
six months, was followed a few days later
by an equally ollieinl announcement that
the duko had no intention whatsoever of
going to sea or of visiting the colonies.
These two contradictory notifications, fol
lowing so closely upon each other, are held
by the public to indicate dissension in the
royal household, and particularly In the
laniily of the Liuke of York.
a one of tho newspapers have, however,
dared to print tho following explanation
of the affair, which Is current In court cir
cles and a topic of much discussion in the
various clubs ond country houses. It
seems that tho Viceroy and Ledy Cadogan,
with tho object or rendering tho stay of
the Duke and Duchess of York at Dublin
as enjoyable as possible, hod Invited all

RIXCESS HENRY OF PLES3.
Tied couples on their visiting list to form
the house party. Loveliest of all tho youth
ful matrons was the beautiful Princess
Henry of Pless, who, though the wife of ono
of the wealthiest and grandest of Angli
cized German noblemen, is an English
woman, the daughter of Mrs. Cornwall is
West
She Is Just as great a flirt and as invet
erate a coquette as her still most attractive
Irish mother, who 20 years ai;o shored
with Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Sloan Stan
ley the distinction of being the three most
beautiful women of their day. The Prince
of Wales was devoted to all three, Mrs.
Stanley and Mrs. West being regarded as
the feminine leaders of what Is known as
the Prince of Wales' set, but it is only fair
to add that, although Mrs. West carried
her coquetry and her Irish love of fun end
mischief to the mott extreme limit, her
good name has never been impugned.
Perhaps the best proof thereof is that the
Princess of Wales has always been particu
larly kindly disposed toward Mrs. West.
Sirs. West's daughter, tho Princess Pless,
was at her very best nt Dublin, and was
far and away the most beautiful and elo
gant woman present, while the Duchess of
York was perhaps the lcabt lovely. Natu
rally tho duchess felt this and became irri
tated when she perceived that Princess
Henry had turned the bead not only of
all the men present, but also of her hus
band, the duke. With just a touch of fem
inine satisfaction at having awakened a
spark of interest and life in the heart of
Prince George, who has become the most
humdrum, uninteresting and dreary of
mortals since hi3 marriage, which seems
entirely to have crushed him, Princess
Henry set her cap at him in full form and
flirted with him ln such an outrageous
manner as to create a good deal of talk.
In fact, the royal visit ln Dublin does not
appear to have passed off without some
manifestation of wrath on the part of the
duchess, for Princess Henry was to have
been included in the royal house parties of
the Duke and Duchess cf Aberoem and of
Lord and Lady Londonderry, but did not
show rp at cither of their country seats.
It is asserted that this Princess Henry
episode has led to a good deal of bad blood
between the Duke and Duchess of York,
who have at no time been very devoted to
one another. Indeed so serious has been
the quarrel between the young couple that
the Prince of Wales felt himself compelled
to hurry home from the continent in order
td try to patch up matters. Naturally the
duchess complained of her husband's in
fatuation for Princess Henry, and it la al
leged that when the prince undertook to
expostulate with his sen abovt the matter
the latter nmaflM on him and exclaimed
that there was not s bit more harm ln his
flirtation with Princess Henry than there
hod been in that between his genial parent
and the mother of Princess Henry SO yean
previously.
It Is claimed in London that It was
through the duchess that the first notice
of the duke's going to sea and of his visit
to the colonies was inserted in The Times,
the duchess hoping to force her husband's
hand in the matter, and to render it diffi
cult for him to withdraw from the project
ed trip, for fear of offending the colonies
and of creating the impression upon the
public that ho was shirking the duties of
his naval profession. But the duke has
not tho slightest intention of being thus
compelled to leave England against his
will merely for the sake of easing his
wife's mind with regard to Princess Hen
ry of Plcss and to Interrupt a very pleas
ant and wholly innocent flirtation, and it
is to him that is attributed the second no
tice in The Times to the effect that he was
not going to sea.
There tho matter rests for tho present,
and It remains to be seen whether It will
develop Into a f ull fledged war between
the dacal couple, tho duchess having
neither the paticnoo, tho good nature nor
the calm common sonne of her mother-in-law,
the Princess of Wales.
HER FAT IS HER FORTUNE.
Why Mary Btnlllns Sells Moonshine

Once again Mary Mullins Is driving tho
revenue officers of Tennessee to despera

and selling tho sanio and doing both open

invariably says.. "I am guilty as charged.
I am yours. Take me. "
And not an oflicw yet has been found

tleo tho mystlo art of hypnotism they at
least have tho latent power, and that it
will be developed sooner or later by perse

and evening before and after school bands
of boys, big and little, assemble in tho
vacant Iotj around tho city schoolhouses
and try to put each other to sleep with
passes of the hands, with glances from tho
eyes or with the nid of paraphernalia with
bright surfaces like tho magic rods of tho
professional fakirs of tho btago. Every
night a party of youngsters, the moat of
whom hovo not prnduated from shirt
waists and knickerbockers, giro publlo ex
hibitions of their powers for tho entertain
ment of whosoever cares to look on.
Astounding stories fire current about
tho success of some of the youfhfnl hyp
notists and aro accepted in good faith, be
cause tho school outhr.rltlcs, through Su
perintendent Gross, took official cogni
zance of the practices tho other dnv by Issu
ing a peremptory order to tho eftect that
hereafter any Doy who is caught trying to
hypnotize another boy will bo sut-ppnued,
with an excellent ennnoo of bring .per
manently expelled. Tho order has only
served to mnko the boys more cautions.
It has not diminished tbolr enthusiasm
for the art which Svcngall employed to
make Tcilby the 6lave of his will and ca
price. Local newpnpers havo published sensa
tional stories about tho spread of tho hyp
notic habit, and on alleged professional
hypnotist, Kcppler, who tisra to llvo ln
Eau Claire, has taken ad vantage of the ex
isting crazo to announce that ho Is going to
put ft roan named nugero fn a trance and
lock him tn a glass case for 63 hours, and
the wholo town is awaiting the result of
the experiment with breathless interest.
Two bojn in particular havo distin
guished, themselves bv their success in
hypnotism. They ore Lum Skatvoldt and
Byron Culver. An amusing incident is
told of Skatvoldt.
Tho other day tho teacher had a boy
bring a enpof water from tho basement to
bo used in diluting somo Ink that had
thickened. They boy came Into the room
carrying tho oup in his hand and was ap
proaching tho teacher's desk as If to do-
posit it there, when ho suddenly halted
and looked steadily at young Skatvoldt.
Then, in sight of the whole class, ho delib
erately raised the cup to his lins and drunk
the contents. In tho eyos of the teacher It
was a bit of insubordination that warrant
ed immediate punishment, and going over
to the boy she seized him by the collar
ana snoon mm vigorously, lie appeared
to bo half asleep for a moment, and then
awakened to a full senso of his oosirlon.
"Why did you drink that water 4 said
the teacher angrily.
"I did not drink any water," was the
unexpected reply.
A giggling from the lower part of the
room caused tne teacher to turn her eyes In
thut direction, and she thought sho saw
Lum Skatvoldt nd two other boys trying
to hide their laughter behind geographies.
She is a resolute llttlo woman. Her name
is Miss Dunphy. Sho hod hoard about the
hypnotism business, and Instantly suspect
ing that young Skatvoldt had hod some
thing to do with the other boy's conduct
went over In the direction of Skatvoldt's
desk to see about tho matter. She detected
Skatvoldt rolling his queer eyes at her from
oenina nis book.
"Seo here," exclaimed Miss Dunphy to
the hypnotist, "if you try any of that
hypnotism on me, I'll hypnotize yen in a
way you will not forget, and you will not
oe in a trance while I do it either."
But the boy, as if confident of his own
power, did not remove his ryes from the
ceacner's. Alias liuntmy became exasper
ated and swooned down on Skatvoldt. She
took him by the coat collar and nncere
monlously Jerked him out of his seat Into
the aisle.
What happened after that la tersely told
by a boy who waa an eyewitness of the
hypnotist's discomfiture,
"Miss Dunphy didn't do thins; to
Lum. She wasn't no Trilby. "
Hypnotism was no match for the anger
and resentment of a teacher. Lam has
